Full Circle by Mike Hutton
As international star Gloria Bird and leading British artist Alex Beck meet for the last time their intense and volatile relationship has spanned some sixty years. From the Paris of the 1920s, the decadence of Berlin during the Weimar Republic and the horrors of The Blitz in London, their professional and private fortunes soar and fall only for them to rise again. As their initial passion declines, their affection deepens; as their marriages fail, they are engulfed by personal tragedies. Fame and fortune are viewed increasingly through a sea of booze, sleeping pills and drugs. Despite only meeting periodically, their relationship survives in this sweeping saga that cannot fail to involve and affect you.
